Is Orocobre under- or over-valued?
Valuing Orocobre stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Orocobre's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Orocobre's P/E ratio
Orocobre's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 37x. In other words, Orocobre shares trade at around 37x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Orocobre share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Orocobre's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.825 up to $5.25. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Orocobre's is 1.5981. This would suggest that Orocobre's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
